November 14, 2024 TTArtisan 75mm F1.5 “Swirl” Lens Review

I’ve had a long lasting love affair with vintage glass. Even though my contemporary lens collection features dozens of great lenses, I still have 6 or 7 vintage lenses that I enjoy taking out periodically. Some of those include classic SMC Takumars and Zeiss lenses, while others include some of the cult classics like Sovie [Read more...]

November 12, 2024 Earfun Air Pro 4 ANC Earbuds Review

Active Noise Canceling earbuds are great, but they also tend to be very pricy.  That’s part of what makes the EarFun Air Pro 4 ANC earbuds so appealing…as you can get them for under $70…and they’re pretty awesome.

November 8, 2024 Viltrox LAB vs Samyang AF – 135mm Battle!

The LAB series is to be Viltrox’s “Otus” series; an optically superlative lineup of lenses that will eventually include 35mm, 50mm, and 85mm F1.2 lenses in addition to the 135mm F1.8 LAB lens that I’m reviewing here. Viltrox is unique in my experience in that they tend to announce their development cycle [Read more...]

November 4, 2024 Viltrox LAB 135mm F1.8 Gallery

I’ve just wrapped up a review of Viltrox’s smallest, lightest, and cheapest lens: the AF 28mm F4.5 “Chip” – a micro-pancake lens just 15mm long. That makes it somewhat ironic to immediately pivot to what is easily their biggest, heaviest, and most expensive lens to date. I’ve been excited abou [Read more...]

October 31, 2024 Canon RF 35mm F1.4L VCM Gallery

When I began to wholesale move to mirrorless, there were certain beloved lenses that were very slow to leave my kit. I had a whole kit of Canon EF lenses, and initially I just adapted those lenses to Canon RF and even Sony. Certain third party lenses slowly began to leave my kit to be […] [Read more...]

October 29, 2024 Viltrox AF 40mm F2.5 E-mount Review

Earlier this year I did one of my first ever Nikon Z-mount reviews, and it was of a brand new Viltrox lens that released first to Nikon – the Viltrox AF 40mm F2.5. I found it to be quite an impressive little lens for the money in my review, and noted in that review that […] [Read more...]
